Nik really likes spiders. She also enjoys painting nebula-themed artwork, listening to Hadestown, and transforming her home into both a spooky Halloween extravaganza and a cozy crochet haven. She has directed several theatre productions, including The Rocky Horror Show and a puppet-adapted Jekyll and Hyde. Nik is skilled on both piano and recorder and fills the house with music, with Gnossiennes being a particular favourite! Her happy places are the hills of the Isle of Skye, or reading by a fire in the deep dark Welsh woods.
